(A/N: The song I used here is not mine!! All credits go to “Honey Works”, “Amagi”, and “Amatsuki”!! I just used the song and say that “Tanjiro” made it for the purpose of the story!! I will put the video when this chapter ends. Enjoy reading!!)

Zenitsu’s POV

“Hah~”
I sigh at the relief of the concert ending in a success. Right now, I was just finishing up on taking a bath. More importantly, that crimson-haired boy. He looked familiar. Very familiar. But I can’t quite remember anything that involves him. He wasn’t in any of the TV shows. He wasn’t in any interviews. He also wasn’t someone I hired or got appointed to. Who is he?

I keep thinking about those thoughts as I step out of the shower. I finish putting on clothes and sit down on my bed for a while. I take my phone and search up anyone that looks familiar to him or just him in general. Those crimson-red eyes looked so familiar. I saw that glow before. I saw that sparkle before.

“Z-zenitsu!! Please wait!!”

Just that thought or memory that just came into my mind made my head spin. Hearing that voice… made my heart ache. My thoughts got stopped when a person came banging on my room’s door.

“OIIII!! ZENITSU!! GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE!!” Just that “oi” I immediately knew who that was. It was my beloved idol partner, and who is also my brother.

“Y-yeah! I’ll be there in just a second!” I stop pondering and get ready to go to my brother. As I went down the steps, I saw that we had a visitor. I wave my hand and bow to that person as I head to my seat. I sit down and start speaking.

“So, what brings you here, Ms. Kanao?”

“Oh, nothing at all! I just wanted to congratulate you in your concert despite, with you being late.”

“I-im so sorry about that!!” I bow my head and apologize. Ms. Kanao Tsuyuri. She was our boss, the one who handles our concerts and also the one taking care of us. Despite being scary, she was a very nice person. But I’m not sure if she’ll let me off the hook next time I become late…

“I’m sure you have questions, Zenitsu.” I start to get confused. What is she talking about? Questions? What? I ask her.

“What do you mean?” I looked at her with a bewildered look on my face. I was really confused. She sighs and starts speaking again.

“The boy. The red-haired boy.  The boy you locked eyes with. The one wearing Hanafuda earrings.” Oh! That boy! Since she’s already brought up the topic, I shouldn’t hesitate to ask.

“Who is he exactly?”

“I knew you had forgotten. Anyway, you have an appointment tomorrow. 5 PM sharp. Head towards our office.” Forgotten? About what? What did I forget? And why is there suddenly an appointment?!

“W-wait!! What do you mean?!”

“Just… you’ll know. Eventually.” This is really messing with my head. What does she mean?!

“Why don’t you just pick me up?”

“Can’t. I’ll be picking someone else up. Even if there was no one, I still won’t pick you up.” Those words stung my heart but, I wouldn’t expect her accepting it too.

“I should head home. See you, Zenitsu, Kaigaku.” She picks up her stuff and heads to the front door. She looks back at us.

“Y-yeah. Bye.” I say as I wave my hand. She closes the door and leaves.

“I-I’ll head back to my room now…” I say that to my brother. He nods in reply. I head back upstairs and immediately collapse on my bed. Man, what a confusing day.

I pick up my phone and continue to search about that boy. I see a result. A music video? Was he also an idol? I click the video and see the most gorgeous boy I’ve ever seen. His voice was also very charming, calm, kind and beautiful. I sit back and watch the video play.

(A/N: This is just the English lyrics.)

“I’ve fallen into an impossible love~”

“Will we meet again next week?”

“I walked in without any thoughts,
Into a concert I had no interest in.”

“I stood up in the last row.”

“Slowly becoming tired and bored,
I was thinking about going home.”

“That was until you appeared.”

“Your sweat glistened from the stage far-away.”

“The you who won’t lose and keep on fighting,
Our eyes have met.”

(A/N: I kind of used the second chorus here…^^;)
“My heart beats. (Ba-dump!)”

“I’ve fallen in love with an angel,
Who has an exceptional smile”

“Will we meet again next week?”

“Mondays are melancholic~”

“LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! I’m your big fan!”

“YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! Let out your voice!”

“LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! I’m your big fan!”

“Hey! Hey! Hey! I love you lots!

~End of song~

I stopped the song. It brought me to tears. I can’t believe it. I have met this boy before! I’m sure of it! I remember that voice. That tone. That face. Those eyes. Everything. I remember him! Just thinking about the boy led me to tears. To think that he actually made a song for me! My face was there and everything!

I stopped crying. But now, the real problem is that, I don’t remember everything. I don’t know who he was, how important was he to me, what our relationship was, and his name. I just know that I have seen him before.

Those thoughts kept me up all night. I look over to see that it was already 1 AM! Time really flies by huh. I finally lie down on my bed and get under the covers. I close my eyes and head into the land of dreams.
